Information Lifecycle Management (1KA)

Personal data in SAP applications must be protected according to the data protection laws. This is achieved by blocking and deleting data according to residence and retention rules. Residence rules are set to define the time for which data can stay in the database, after which it is archived. Retention rules are defined to store the archive files for a set amount of time, after which they can be destroyed.

Key Process Steps Covered

• Maintain retention rules
• Analyze archiving variant distribution
• Schedule and monitor archiving jobs
• Data Controller Rule Framework

Benefits

• Block data once the primary purpose of the data is complete
• Move data from the database to archive files using rules
• Define rules based on several factors (for example, residence time, authorization group, retention time)
